    Once a money saver always a money saver lol. It's weird you spend so long training your brain to be all about paying off debt and spending as little as possible on "luxuries" that the thought of my free GRANDE (might as well get a big one when it's on them lol) hazelnut skinny latte actually got me all excited lol, oooooooo and on a nero's loyalty update thing, they now give you a stamp if you buy the paper too, so if you only really need to buy 5x coffees £15 + 5x papers £2.50 = £17.50 to get your free coffee instead of 10x coffees @ £30!!!!! see it's just built in to my brain now lol i just can't help myself :D

    I had me one of those cards too :D

    I used to use Cafe Nero quite a bit, but I figured I was spending £1.44 a day on a cup of tea (5 days a week, 52 weeks a year = £375 a year!!!), so when I had a couple of days off last I used the money I would normally use for tea to buy myself a flask. I now take my own tea from home. :D
    Debt at LBM (28/08/09) = £43000 / Current Debt = £39800
